I myself struggle with a crippling lack of willpower. I want to write, but even when I'm free I get mentally stuck and end up doing nothing for hours.

Addtionally, RP itself has changed a lot over the years. We may need to renovate the very style of NWP RP.

How has RP changed in what ways? I would like to read your insights on this.

It's sort of branched out into a few directions, really. Now keep in mind I've kind of left NS behind so for all I know the old ways are still king here, but here's what I've gathered from my time out in the RP wilderness. It's not so much that the fundamental nature of RP has changed but rather that the way people choose to interact with it has.

As I predicted many years ago, people are looking for a more accessible RP that they can casually participate in. There's still a major market for long-form content like the stories of ye olden days, but people also want to drop in with some minor lore bits. The nature of things like forums tends to encourage very long and complex stories while discouraging shorter content. No one wants to log into a website just to drop a couple paragraphs amidst a sea of short stories.

The most successful RPs I know are hosted on non-dedicated services such as Discord and even Reddit. Reddit games can be amazingly complex. Putting them on a service that people regularly use makes the RP more in your face compared to a dedicated RP website. If you use Discord at all you're more likely to see notifications and pop ups for the RP, thus keeping you in the game more compared to having to check a website for updates. It also provides a stronger centralized hub for updates and communications. If I need someone to respond to an RP I can ping them directly on a Discord server for example and they can see what's up right away. This is more efficient compared to having to ping someone to tell them to check out a link to another site. Centralizing the RP more into one hub also reduces our "spread". People can see the activity right away rather than seeing a bunch of chatter and being told to go check out another website. It's just better marketing, basically.

The NWP does have a Discord server with an RP section, but it's historically been discouraged, relegated to only a few sentences. I propose some renovations to turn it into a more complex RPing space. Now I know we historically liked forums for the purposes of organization. But I believe something must yield.

I have plenty of example communities I can invite you to check out if you'd like. It may give you a first hand example of what I'm going for.

You explained that very well. Last time I tried I was unable to access the NWP discord. Is anyone else able to access it?

You should be able to. Me and the rest are hanging out there. If you need a fresh link I can toss you one

This is pretty obvious but you’re the one who recently joined the discord server I assume? I’m just paranoid and don’t want to be the guy who starts the next raid

Well we did try to start something like that, revamp the discord, split up the RP channels, but it got stuck in admin hell or so and nothing changed x)
